According To David Stern, The Players And Owners Are "Very Far Apart" On Labor Negotiations

DALLAS (AP) — David Stern says owners and players remain "very
far apart" on a new labor deal after completing two days of
negotiations.

The NBA Commissioner used the term "far apart" five times in
about 8½ minutes Wednesday to describe where owners and players
stand with a June 30 deadline before the expiration of the
current collective bargaining agreement.

The sides agreed to meet twice more next week, Tuesday in Miami
if there is a Game 7 of the NBA finals or in New York, and then
again Friday in New York.

Stern says it's a positive they continue to meet and that "both
sides have moved, but we're not anyplace close to a deal."
